So who's getting an i3?
Discussion
Going to have a test drive as soon as I can find the time - got brochure sent by BMW i specialist today (dated as valid from November so some changes this month?) - some random observations: the no cost grey paint has gone (only white available at no cost), the heat pump is available as an option for both the rex and bev. There's a sport package at £1,700 including HK speakers, wheel upgrade, led headlight upgrade and sun protection glass - more or less giving 19 inch "upgrade" wheels free (not much good to me as I like the bog standard wheels though I suppose it might help residual a bit).
Spent 90 minutes in the pop up shop in he Trafford centre today - very helpful advice form Tim who isn't from bmw williams (Manchester dealer) but an independent company (forgotten the name) that works to encourage ev uptake. Matt is the bother guy and he will be theeee later. Shop there until 22nd I think - they have a couple of i3s for driving I think plus a couple on display (one inside one outside) and an i8 inside too. Didn't have my licence with me so just a passenger ride - liked it. Next stop extended test and check we can install a charger at home
And just driven one for an hour or so courtesy of Ben Cornwell at Bowker Preston - great mix of roads - and I really like it. Just need to check charger costs (might need extra cabling from house which would be a bit tricky/ maybe ££) and that my wife is happy with me having one and I shall be buying one

I won't.
About as appealing as genital warts. (and as good to look at)
Drive one, then come back to this forum. If it doesn't put a smile on your face (170hp, 1100Kg, 0-50kph faster than an M4) then you're not a true pistonhead!About as appealing as genital warts. (and as good to look at)
The Boxster S driver I beat from the lights yesterday TWICE looked a tad embarrased / annoyed...

The i3 is a really great drive.
